3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are stylish and sleek, with excellent maneuverability. A lot of them have an sling made of fabric with a cosy lay flat bed that is perfect for weight distribution, and are perfect for babies from the age of.

The wheels are bigger and, in many cases, have suspensions for smooth movements on various terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they tend to be bulkier and heavier to store and transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies offer plenty of stability. They don't tip over as easily when moving straight. You can also manoeuvre faster. If you turn or stop abruptly, they can lose their stability and fall over. To avoid this, certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

The extra wheel also helps you navigate off-road terrain. Look for models that have air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) as these can cope with off-road routes and other surfaces like rocks, sand and mud. These models will also feature a lockable wheel on the front to increase stability on rough terrain.

With the correct design, engineering and weight distribution these buggies can be turned on a dime and are easy to steer with just one hand; they have 360o front swivel wheels allowing mobility and agility to be effortless and light to handle. They also meet the same stability standards globally and test as 4-wheel buggies.

If you are looking for a seat made of fabric they are typically lower in the frame compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's center of gravity will be closer to the ground - instantly ensuring a smoother ride.

Popular for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a light travel system and pushchair to its range with the eye-catching Citylife. This 3 wheel travel system-in-1 is ideal for urban living, and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It has four wheels and a unique pewter black aluminium frame, which the brand claims is 'slim and compact'. It's just 2cm larger than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a variety of 3 wheel buggies that fold up to fit into smaller spaces. A lot of these buggies can be folded in one hand, and are easy to clean. Some of the smallest models come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, while others feature adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They may also feature an enormous, spacious basket and a quick-release brake lever.

The best 3 Wheel baby Stroller wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain

A 3-wheeler is likely to be better able to cope with off-road conditions better than a 4-wheel model, but both can be stuck in tight spots. However, selecting a model with larger wheels both front and back will help. This makes them easier to push across rough terrain and is often helpful in moving up and down the high kerbs.

The brand new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its remarkable agility despite its three wheel pushchairs-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath has tested it with her infant and said that "it handled really well on cobbles, bumpy surfaces gravel tracks, dirt roads and even a few hills."

Another option is the latest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer which is called Stella. It's suitable from birth when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's little bigger than the lightweight 3 wheel stroller 4wheelers (with an impressively slim 54cm wide frame) but has big, air-filled tyres, 3 recline positions, and a quick one-hand fold.

Its primary selling point is its modularity. It's compatible with all the brands' baby strollers and car seats. This means that you can design your ideal travel system for your day-to-day or longer walks using the chassis as a starting point.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheeled travel system wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and types of materials. Each comes with its own pros and cons. Air-filled tyres, for example provide an effortless ride and superior maneuverability, while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you select will depend on your lifestyle and the location you live in.

If you plan to travel on roads that are not paved or on rough terrain frequently, you might want to consider a three-wheeler equipped with more robust tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension that you require. Suspensions that are strong are ideal for tackling bumps and humps but they can also be heavy, adding to the overall weight.

The size of the tyre is also important. Understanding the tyre size is important for safety, performance, and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewall of a tyre can be initially, but decoding it will allow you to comprehend the tyre's dimensions. A tyre having a size of 185/70 R14 for instance, means that it is a radial tire with a diameter of the 185/70 size with 14-inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're not sure if the tires on a pushchair are rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires across a smooth surface and tie them. If they slide easily, then the tires are made of PU. If they do not, then the tires are composed of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three-wheeled buggy will make it more comfortable for your child as it will absorb any bumps or knocks from rough terrain. A large wheel that are air-filled, and lockable to provide stability when jogging crucial to ensure your buggy is capable of maneuvering off roads with ease.

There are a variety of buggy designs to fit every lifestyle and budget. For example, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. Their sling seats made of fabrics are designed with the perfect geometry and engineering to fit perfectly inside the frame rather than on top, like modular seats. This creates a lower center of gravity and sits at the ideal height to distribute weight evenly to conquer the kerbs.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is a great alternative. It has an elegant design, a huge wheel that's easy to maneuver and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also comes with an adjustable handbrake that can be turned to make it easier of use. MFM reviewer Kath put the buggy through its trials by going for a ride on a rough terrain. She was impressed with how it performed admirably and claimed that it "navigates over grass, bumpy cobbles, sidewalks, and dirt tracks, and even allows you to easily go up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road choice. It is available in a range of colors that will complement your style. It also comes with a movable handlebar and a large basket. You can also choose from a selection of infant car seats that will transform the buggy into pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) that is a comfortable lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns until 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make the buggy more stable, less likely for it to tip over and easier to maneuver. It can also be more secure for your child as their weight is distributed more evenly across the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeler is also likely to have a lower centre of gravity and therefore is more easy to roll up and over curbs. The seats of the fabric sling are placed inside the frame, not on top like modular seats. This creates a low seat position and an automobile that is easily moved.

However, if you'd like to go out for an exercise with your child then a four-wheeler is more suitable as it will have a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel which allows you to navigate bumpy roads and rough terrain - just bear in mind not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most aren't, such as the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception, as they have a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been tested by an independent expert across all terrains.
